BREEAGIS 


In the spring of the year 1913, | presented to the Faculty 
of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania, in partial 
fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D., a dis- 
sertation under the title: Sumerian Contract Tablets, chiefly from 
the Isin Dynasty. 

In its original form, the thesis contained nearly all of the 
Isin tablets here published, a number of the undated texts, 
and some other documents of various character; specimen 
texts were given in autograph copy, transliteration, trans- 
lation and commentary. After being notified that the work 
might be accepted as one of the Museum’s publications, | 
ereatly enlarged it by the addition of all the Larsa tablets. 
Some of the texts, which, for their content, did not well 
harmonize with the others, have been left out, to be published 
at their proper place in some other volume. 

In the arrangement of the work, I have followed the 
principles which guided the publication of the volumes edited 
by Prof. H. V. Hilprecht. The autograph copies have been 
made to reproduce, so far as possible, the original text. If 
this may have rendered the copies a little more difficult for the 
reader, it offers the great advantage of permitting one to verify, 
and possibly correct, the interpretations that I have offered. 

It is a pleasant duty for me to acknowledge my indebt- 
edness to the scholars who have assisted me in my work. To 
Dr. A. Poebel 1 owe many valuable suggestions. He has per- 
mitted me to make use of the grammatical part of his forth-

coming volume of Historical and Grammatical Texts, and 
has also allowed me to publish some of the Isin and Larsa 
tablets, of which he had copied the date formule. A number 
of valuable suggestions I have also received from Dr. A. Ungnad, 
Research Professor of Assyriology in the University. 

My sincere thanks are also ‘due t¢-Dr, Gi@eamarnscon 
ex-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, the founder of 
the Harrison Research Fellowships, the occupancy of which 
has permitted me to devote my undivided attention to this 
work. Finally, I must express my deep gratitude to Dr. G. B. 
Gordon, Sc.D., the director of the University Museum, who, 
with utmost kindness, has facilitated in every way my work 


in the Museum.

INTRODUCTION 


PEAGE OE ORIGIN 


All the tablets published in this volume were excavated 
in Nippur by the four expeditions of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania. The copies have been made from the originals preserved 
in the University Museum, with the exception of Nos. 46 and 
47 for which plaster-casts have been used, the originals being 
in the Imperial Ottoman Museum. The volume comprises all 
the Isin and Larsa tablets which have thus far been found in 
the collection. Seven other Larsa tablets, also from Nippur, 
had been published by Poebel in his volume, Nos. 1-7. All 
tablets are published for the first time: the date formule of 
several of these tablets will shortly appear in Poebel’s HGT. 

It is of interest to note that all the Isin tablets, so far 
published,! have been found in Nippur. The only exception 
to this was a text of Damik-ilishu found by Sheil in the Im- 
perial Ottoman Museum, and which was catalogued with the 
tablets coming from Sippar.2. Thureau-Dangin*® has suggested 
that Sheil’s tablet may have been catalogued with the Sippar 
collections only through error, and its comparison with other 
Isin documents published in this volume establishes beyond 
any doubt that such was the case (cf. pp. 20-21). 

The Larsa tablets have come from different sources and 
are now to be found in: (1) The University Museum, Phila- 
delphia; (2) The Imperial Ottoman Museum, Constantinople; 


1 Miss M. Hussey has announced in the meeting of the American Oriental Society of 
1913, ‘‘A deed of land dated in the reign of dF nlil-bani,”’ which has not yet appeared in press.

(3) The British Museum, London; (4) The Louvre, Paris; 
(5) The Museum of the University of Aberystwith, Wales.’ 

The language used in the Isin and Larsa texts is the 
Sumerian. Akkadian words are found in a document from 
the time of Irra-imiti (20), and in a list of Rim-"Sin (68). Two 
Akkadian documents (81, 82,) belonging to the time of Hammu- 
rapi, have been translated on pp. 59-02. 

The characters of the documents of Isin and Larsa greatly 
resemble each other, and are very close to those of the time 
of the First Dynasty. It would be very difficult, not to say 
impossible, to determine on purely palzographical grounds, to 
which one of these dynasties a given document might belong. 

The use of the Sumerian language does not necessarily 
prove the greater antiquity of these texts with respect to those 
of the First Dynasty. It is only an indication that these docu- 
ments originated in Nippur, an old center of the Sumerian 
culture. Larsa texts partly or entirely written in Akkadian 
are: W 3-4; W 0-10; W 13-14; W 20-21; W 22; W 23; 
WHOS iuhea.4 | 

CHARACTERISTICS 

As in the manner of writing, the legal documents here 
published agree with each other and with the Nippur documents 
of the First Dynasty of Babylon in many important respects. 
The scheme of the documents is the same, and for a study of it 
| cannot do better than refer to Poebel’s work, pp. 3ff., and 
point out in the translation the differences which may be noted. 

Worthy. of a special notice are: 

|. The use of the postfix -ge after the grammatical subject 
of the document; this is attached: 

(a) To the name of the subject, 1/5; 30/4; 86/6; 90/3.

5. The constant distinction between the signs for “Samu” 
to buy, and “Simu” purchase price. The sign simu 
is always written sé+dm. Cf. P., p. 3, note 1. 
6. The oath-formula. 
(a) The oath is always taken by the king; no god is ever 
mentioned. 
(b) The king is not mentioned by name: the formula 1s 
“mu lugal-bi (in 18/11 and 81/21 lugal-la-b1) in-pa 
(-dé-eX).”” The only exception to this is found in 
20/18-20, which reads: 
nis ilim U Sarrim 
tu ir-ra-1-mi-ti 
in-pa-dé-es 
No undue stress should be placed on the copula « (= and 
also), because Irra-imiti is called Jugal in the date. The scribe 
had probably begun to write his usual oath-formula, when he 
decided to record also the name of the king. This tablet, partly 
written in Akkadian, differs in many other respects from all 
others. 
THE SEALS 


Another characteristic which the Nippur documents of Isin 
and Larsa have in common with those of the First Dynasty are 
the seal-impressions. The seals used on these contracts were 
not those usually borne by the persons who sealed the contract, 
but were made expressly for the occasion by a special official, 
the bur-gul (cf. Poebel, OLZ, 1907, col. 175-181), who is associ- 
ated with the tup-sar, and either precedes or succeeds him in the 
list of witnesses. The seals made by the bur-gul were not en- 
graved on seal-cylinders made of some hard stone, but were, in 
all probability, formed of a little lump of clay, flattened on one 
side and partially dried. The writing on the bur-gul seals is 


EDW. CHIERA—-LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS 8) 


larger than on the other seals, and not very carefully made. 
Even the shape of the seal is sometimes irregular (cf. 7); but the 
most remarkable instance of the carelessness of the bur-gul is 
found in tablet 12 where the seal was engraved with the charac- 
ters running from left to right, so that, in the seal-impression, 
the signs run from right to left. In tablet 23 the sign nw in 
nu-é§ has been written upside-down. As an additional evi- 
dence that the seals were made at the time when the document 
was drawn up, we may note that, in two tablets of “Sin-ikisham, 
the same person, “Ur-4Innanna, nu-éS, dumu Kiu-¢Innanna,”’ 
uses two different seals. (For additional information on this 
subject cf. P., p. 3ff.) In the tablets of the Isin Dynasty the 
bur-gul is never mentioned, but the seals are undoubtedly of 
the kind already described. A special seal, probably not a 
bur-gul, is found in tablet 37. It is a temple-seal and reads: 

en-ki 

‘dam-gal-nun-na 

“azar-lli-sar 
With it cf. that of P. 66 (bur-gul), which reads: 

fen-ki 


“dam-gal-nun-na 


THE PERSONAL NAMES 


In the course of preparation of this work, it has been re- 
marked that some of the proper names found in documents 
belonging to the Isin and Larsa dynasties are identical with 
those appearing on other Nippur tablets belonging to the First 
Dynasty of Babylon. A closer study of all Nippur documents 
hitherto published has brought out some very interesting results, 
so that alist of the personal names in question has been added 
here. In the list only such names have been included which, 
through paternity or a special title, can be easily identified.

It is interesting to observe that, through these proper 
names, we can follow the history of a family which, in a period 
of three generations, lived under the rule of three different 
dynasties. The fact 1s even more valuable, because we can 
prove that the family in question never left the city of Nippur. 
One branch of it had held the hereditary office of anointing 
priest of the goddess Ninlil, and we may safely presume that 
this necessitated a continuous residence in the Cit yoeLhOlied 
legal document (P. 10) we know that even members of the 
second branch, M4ri-irsitim and Mutum-ilu, the sons of 4] M- 
rabi, had been living there, because they had made complaint 
to Hammu-rapi concerning the possession of a certain field, 
and the king had referred the matter to the local authorities 
of Nippur. Following is the genealogical table:

both names occur only this time, in all the Nippur documents of the dynasties of Isin, Larsa 


and Babylon. Note also the constant recurrence of the god IM(zSkur), in the formation of the 
proper names of this family.

(1) That all the tablets found in Nippur have been written 
there, because the same persons are mentioned in all of them, 
and even documents belonging to two different dynasties have 
been redacted by the same scribe. Additional proof for this 
contention is to be found in the constant agreement of all the 
documents in style and arrangement (cf. p. 16). 

(2) That the three dynasties of Isin, Larsa and Babylon 
overlap with each other, and that Ilima-ilu, of the so-called 
Second Dynasty, is a contemporary of Samsu-iluna. 

A further discussion of this subject will be made in the 
next chapter. ©

RIMSIN AND THE FALL OF ISIN 


During the last few years many scholars have directed 
their efforts towards determining the exact date of Rim-"Sin’s 
capture of Isin, which is generally supposed to mark the close 
of the Isin Dynasty. With this date once well established, a 
large part of the chronology of the old Babylonian time could 
be placed on a firm basis. 

Several attempts have been made in this direction. The 
first is the identification of the capture of Isin under Rim-"Sin 
with that recorded in the date formula of the year 17th of 
4Sin-muballit.. It has been further conjectured that, since 
Rim-‘Sin attributes to himself the glory of the conquest, “Sin- 
muballit may have acted simply as his vassal. Thureau- 
Dangin? shows that this could not have been the case, since 
“Sin-muballit, three years previous to his conquest of Isin, had 
fought against the armies of Ur and Larsa. In another pub- 
lication? the same scholar proposes the following view: In the 
year 14th of his reign, “Sin-muballit defeats the army of Larsa. 
Three years afterwards he conquers Isin, where Damik-ilishu 
was reigning. This king remains on the throne, as a vassal 
of Babylon. At “Sin-muballit’s death Rim-*Sin, who was then 
king of Larsa, takes advantage of the occasion and, in the first 
or second year of Hammu-rapi, conquers Isin.

A still different view is adopted by Langdon,! who identifies 
Rim-"Sin’s capture of Isin with that recorded in the date for- 
mula of the 7th year of Hammu-rapi.2. This king and Rim-*Sin 
were allies, precisely as Genesis XIV states Amraphel and Arioch 
to have been. This scholar further argues that, since Rim-*Sin 
dated the years of his reign from the capture of Isin long after 
the 7th year of Hammu-rapi, this would indicate that, after that 
date, Isin was still in his possession. King,? while not exclud- 
ing the possibility that the two dynasties of Isin and Babylon 
may have overlapped for a time, prefers to retain the view 
that the Babylonian Monarchy was not established before the 
close of the dynasty of Isin. 

The wide difference of opinion among scholars, regarding 
the course of events of this very important period of Baby- 
lonian history, leaves place for a new study of the whole question. 

We may begin with noting that no document has hitherto 
been found in Nippur which antedates the 31st year of Hammu- 
rapi, or follows the 29th of Samsu-iluna. Nearly every year 
of the period embraced by these two dates is very well repre- 
sented, the longest gap being of two years. We may then be 
justified in assuming that, in the 31st year of his reign, Hammu- 
rapi succeeded in extending his power over Nippur, and that 
the rule of Babylon over this city lasted until the 29th year 
of his successor: Samsu-iluna. An examination of the docu- 
ments from Tell Sifr (published by Strassmaier, Warka,) shows 
the old city standing at that place to have shared the fate 
of Nippur in the very same year.'| From the texts published

in this volume we learn also that the dynasty of Larsa held 
Nippur under its power for a period extending from the time 
of Warad-‘Sin to the 29th year after the capture of Isin by 
Rim-‘Sin. Granting that Hammu-rapi, with his victory over 
Rim-'Sin in his 31st year, may have put an end to the “Tsin 
era,” we could easily come to the conclusion that the fall of 
Isin, and consequently the close of the rule of that dynasty, 
must have taken place at a date very close to the year of 


accession of Hammu-rapi.! However much this solution of 
the difficulty may commend itself for its simplicity, very 


important objections can be raised against It. 

The duration of Rim-*Sin’s reign extends beyond the limits 
of probability. We know that this king has at least thirty 
years of his reign dated after the fall of Isin; to these we 
must add those represented by six other date formule from 
Nippur which, on this hypothesis, must all precede the capture 
of Isin, not to consider five more which, very probably, belong 
to Rim-"Sin, though not mentioning him by name. This 
number may also be increased by the discovery of new mate- 
rial or the proof that some of the date formule of Rim-‘Sin, 
which have not been found in Nippur, must be placed before 
the ‘“‘Isin era.” An estimate of forty years for this whole 
period seems to the present writer to be very conservative. 
But we know that Rim-Sin was still living in the 1oth year 
of Samsu-iluna, so that we must add another twenty-two years 
of reign, not represented in the date formule from Nippur.®

8 Lindl (BA, IV, p. 385f.) thinks that Rim-“Sin may have captured Isin in the first years 
of his reign, and that all the date formule which are not included in the Isin era, are to be 
placed after the last year of this era. Thureau-Dangin (Journal Asiatique, X1V(1909), p. 338f.) 
suggests that Rim-"Sin may have begun to claim divine attributes only after the conquest of 
Isin, thus inheriting the practice of the Isin rulers. According to this principle, all the date

Now the roth year of Samsu-iluna, which is generally accepted 
as the date of his death, seems only to mark a period of his 
renewed activity. The question needs to detain us a little longer. 

Ungnad! has discovered that two tablets (W 22 and 63), 
dated respectively: mu ¢ri-1m-‘sin lugal lu-kur hul-a, and mu 
sa-am-su-i-lu-na lugal-e umman 1-da-ma-ra-as (= 10th year), are 
practically identical. Both of them record the same trans- 
action, with the same parties acting in it: apart from a dif- 
ference in the price, they continue to agree in the list of wit- 
nesses, and are even dated in the same month. Ungnad assigns 
the date formula of Rim-*Sin to the oth year of Samsu-iluna 
which, unlike the years 1-8, is not represented in the “ Warka”’ 
texts: on the strength of an old Babylonian chronicle* which 
recounts the death of Rim-“Sin at the hands of Samsu-iluna, 
he further argues that the year tenth of this king marks both 
the defeat and the death of Rim-‘Sin. 

Thureau-Dangin,? from a document then unpublished,* 
thus completes the date formula of Samsu-iluna: mu umman 
ly i-da-ma-ra-as** ia-mu-ut-ba-lum unu(g)* i-si-1n’-na® “the 
year in which (Samsu-iluna defeated) the army of the people 
of Idamaras, Yamutbal, Uruk and Isin,” and compares it with 
that of Rim-‘’Sin which reads: “The year in which, in the 
temple of (the city of) Kesh, (the temple) of the temen of 


eS ge i ee 


formulez in which the divine determinative precedes the name of Rim-%Sin, are to be placed 
after, and the remaining ones before the capture of Isin. The same scholar practically abandons 
this view, because in the texts from Nippur the name of Warad-9Sin is also preceded by the 
divine determinative. In the writer’s opinion, the only means for determining whether a date 
formula of Rim-‘Sin precedes or follows the Isin era, is to be furnished, either by the formula 
itself, or by the document to which the date is attached.

heaven and earth, the goddess Nin-mah exalted Rim-'Sin, the 
king, to the kingdom of the whole country, and in which he 
did not smite back the wicked enemies to their countries.”’? 
He further explains this formula by suggesting that the year 
in question may at first have been designated by its first part: 
Rim-“Sin having afterwards been defeated, the second part 
was then added. Samsu-iluna is “‘the enemy, the wicked one,” 
whom Rim-‘Sin did not succeed in smiting back. The two 
documents, written in the same year, the same month and, 
without doubt, on the same day, would be two copies of the 
same contract, dated one in the reign of the vanquished (Rim- 
“Sin), and the other in that of the victor (Samsu-iluna). The 
two copies would have been made so as to be able to produce 
a contract of Samsu-iluna, in case that the Babylonians should 
have succeeded in maintaining their dominion, and one of Rim- 
“Sin, in case that the dynasty of Larsa should have re-estab- 
lished itself. 

We cannot entirely agree with either one of these most 
esteemed scholars. The date of Samsu-iluna does not neces- 
sarily record a victory: its very laconicism may induce us to 
believe that it was not so. On the other hand, we cannot avoid 
the conclusion that at least a partial success is implied in the 
formula of Rim-“Sin. The mention of the wicked enemies, 
which he had been unable to smite back into their countries, 
might have been added so as to temper somewhat the sweep- 
ing assertion that “the whole country’”’ had been subjugated. 
We know that “Tell Sifr’ had long been under the rule of 
Larsa, since we find there tablets dated in the reigns of Nar-“IM 
and “Sin-idinnam. The rule of Babylon over that place must 
have been inaugurated, according to the records, in the year

31 of Hammu-rapi; but we note also that, after the 1oth 
year of Samsu-iluna, no more documents of the First Dynasty 
have been discovered there. We would then be led to the 
conclusion that, after his supposed victory over Rim-‘Sin, 
Samsu-iluna should have lost his hold on the city. If, on the 
other hand, we suppose Rim-*Sin to have been victorious, the 
existence of the two copies of the same document might be 
explained on the supposition that the original copy was that 
dated under Samsu-iluna, and in its date formula recorded the 
war between this king and Rim-‘Sin: after the latter’s conquest, 
it became necessary to duplicate the tablet, so as to make it 
meet the new conditions. ~The mention of the ‘“‘wicked enemy” 
is also explained by the fact that Rim-“Sin did not succeed 
in winning back from Samsu-iluna all the lands which he had 
lost to Hammu-rapi: Nippur, at least, remained under Babylon 
for another nineteen years. Summing up this discussion, we 
find that Rim-*Sin, after possibly more than sixty-two years 
of reign, is still living and conquering, and that the date of his 
death, as recorded in the chronicles, must be placed at a date 
yet to be determined. 

The argument derived from a study of the personal names 
catalogued on pp. 20-21 is very strong against the possibility 
of a date as late as Hammu-rapi 1-2 for the fall of Isin. In the 
genealogical table of Lu-ninIB (cf. p. 22) we find that a#-du-du 
and ¢JM-ra-bi lived in the reign of Damik-ilishu while their 
sons 4] M-gir-ra, 1b-ga-tum, mar1-irsitim and mu-tum-ilu are still 
mentioned in documents of the 11th year of Samsu-iluna. On 
the given hypothesis, we should place in the interval of this 
generation the entire period of time in which the Larsa dynasty 
ruled over Nippur. The reign of Rim-’Sin has already been 
estimated as covering at least thirty-six years, and we know 


30 UNIVERSITY MUSEUM—BABYLONIAN SECTION 


that Warad-‘Sin preceded him on the throne, reigning in 
Nippur for at least four years. If we should have to con- 
sider also Zambia and “Sin-ikisham as kings of Larsa, the rule 
of this dynasty would extend even further." Now to this 
period of forty years we should have to add another one of 
twenty-three, which would cover the interval between the 
conquest of Nippur under Hammu-rapi, and the 11th year 
of Samsu-iluna. Granting that Ududu and “IM-rabi should 
have lived at the close of the long reign of Damik-ilishu, we 
find that, in the case of two different families, the fathers have 
appeared in documents at least sixty-three years before their 
respective sons. Analogous is the case of 2b-ku-Sa, the anoint- 
ing priest of Ninlil, whom we find in this capacity under the 
reign of Damik-ilishu, and then again in the 31st year of 
Hammu-rapi. Finally tablet 92, the date of which 1s unfor- 
tunately destroyed, names ¢nanna-me-DU, the son of ¢en-lil- 
eu-gal, who lived under Damik-ilishu, and ur-kingal?-a, the 
scribe, who is mentioned in documents of the fourth year of 
Samsu-iluna, and of the eleventh year after the capture of Isin 
by Rim-*Sin. To whatever dynasty we may be inclined to 
assign this document, we cannot resist the conclusion that the 
three dynasties of Isin, Larsa and Babylon could not have 


1 My former teacher, Prof. A. T. Clay of Yale University, has very kindly informed me 
that in a list of the kings of Larsa which he is preparing for publication, occur the names of 
Zambia and “Sin-ikisham, preceding those of Warad-"Sin and Rim-*Sin. Another king called 
Za-an-bi-ia has been found in the list published by Hilprecht (BE, XX, Pt. 1, pl. 30), and on 
tablets from Nippur (cf. n. 11 and list of date formule on p. 70). As for dSin-ikisham, Poebel 
has suggested that he might represent the tenth king of Isin, whose name is mutilated on 
Hilprecht’s list (cf. OLZ, 1907, col. 461). As additional proof of his contention, he draws 
attention to the fact that in both the tablets which he had observed (n. 21 and 23), occurs the 
name of Ji-i-si-in®'-na, the Isinate. The tenth king of Isin reigned only six months, and the 
three tablets of this king published in this volume are dated in the same year, and cover just 
a period of six months. Poebel’s suggestion is therefore very good and has not, thus far, been 
disproved, but we must be ready, if new material should warrant it, to consider the Nippur 
documents, dated in the reign of these two rulers, as belonging with those of the Larsa dynasty. 
Cf. also my restoration of W. 92 (on _p. 70) which might belong to 4Sin-ikisham of Larsa. 


EDW. CHIERA——LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS al 


been separated by a long interval of time. The ‘“Warka’”’ 
texts, in which the same persons reappear more frequently than 
in the Nippur documents, are even stronger in their testimony. 
Through a comparison of the personal names occurring in the 
tablets dated after the fall of Isin, with those dated in the 
dynasty of Babylon, we find that they all agree in suggesting 
for this event a date ranging between the 20th and 25th year 
of Hammu-rapi. A complete comparison of these personal 
names has been omitted, because this would have carried us 
far beyond the limits in which this discussion must be kept: 
as those tablets are accessible to every scholar, it will not be 
difficult to verify this statement (cf. especially W. 7, 13). This 
new date would permit us to elucidate another problem which, 
on the given hypothesis, would have remained without solu- 
tion. From the date formula of the seventh year of Hammu- 
rapi, we know that this king conquered Isin. If he had 
taken it from Rim-*Sin, we could hardly explain how that 
ruler could have continued to date his reign after the conquest 
of a city that was no longer in his possession. Everything 
could be explained on the supposition that Hammu-rapi's con- 
quest had preceded that of Rim-*Sin.! Finally, if we date 
the capture of Isin in the first year of Hammu-rapi, we are 
obliged to discard as inaccurate the statement of Genesis XIV, 
which gives Amraphel (Hammu-rapi) and Arioch (Warad-‘Sin) 
as contemporaries, and admit that Rim-"Sin is there intended 
instead of Warad-'Sin.’ 

The evidence offered in support of a later date for the 
fall of Isin, seems to the writer to be of sufficient weight to 
overbalance any argument that might be based on the pres- 


1Cf. Langdon, Babyloniaca, VII (1914), p. 41. 
2 Langdon, zbid., note 2. 


32 UNIVERSITY MUSEUM—BABYLONIAN SECTION 


ence in Nippur and Tell Sifr of tablets dated through nearly 
all the years of the ‘“‘Isin era.” This fact 1s possibly to be 
explained on the supposition that, for a period of about twenty 
years, these two cities may have been under the united power 
of Larsa and Babylon. We could in no way avoid this con- 
clusion, if we accept the identification (in the table on p. 22) 
of Ibni-"IM as the son of Idin-“IM, since it is evident that 
the son could not have lived at a period antedating that of his 
father. Whatever may be the solution that will be chosen for 
the many new problems with which the texts published in this 
volume have confronted us, the testimony of the personal 
names cannot be overlooked.! 

According to the results reached in the above discussion, 
the course of events for this period might thus be summarized. 
“Sin-muballit, in the 14th year of his reign, defeats the armies 
of Larsa and Ur; three years later, in the pursuit of his cam- 
paign, he conquers Isin, where “Sin-magir was king. He did 
not succeed in holding this city under his power, and probably 
lost it back to the same ruler, since we find that Hammu-rap1, 
in his seventh year, records a second capture of Isin. The 
results of this second conquest were no more permanent than 
those of the first one, since an Isin ruler, this time Damik- 
ilishu, must have soon regained his hold on the city. It was 
left for Rim-"Sin to crush definitely the power of Isin. At a 
date which may be close to Hammu-rapi 23d,” this king takes 


1 The only alternative that appears tenable to the present writer is the denial that the 
conquest of Isin by Rim-“Sin put an end to the rule of the Isin Dynasty. D&Amik-ilishu 
would still be reigning during the first part of the “Isin era.”’ Or one could accept the still 
more radical view that Rim-“Sin never conquered or destroyed Isin (cf. Note 3 on p. 74). 

In both cases, even if we succeed in determining the exact year in which the “‘Isin era’”’ 
was inaugurated, we cannot hope to determine the exact date for the close of the Isin Dynasty. 

2 From the study of the ‘“‘Warka” texts. This date would place the close of the “‘Isin era”’ 
at Samsu-iluna roth, the beginning of Rim-“Sin’s renewed activity. 


EDW. CHIERA——LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS 33 


the field against Damik-ilishu, and either captures or destroys 
Isin, thus putting an end to the rule of that dynasty. But 
the tide turns also against him, when Hammu-rapi begins his 
great conquest of Shumer and Akkad, in the 31st year of his 
reign. Rim-*Sin is defeated, and is left on his throne only 
as a vassal of Babylon: after nearly twenty years of servitude, 
he leads a rebellion against Samsu-iluna, which is only partially 
successful and, after a war lasting probably through several 
years, he is finally captured by that Babylonian monarch, and 
put to death. 

But the power of Babylon is also growing weaker: Samsu- 
iluna proves unable to retain the vast lands which had been 
conquered by Hammu-rapi; after his 29th year, his hold on 
Nippur is lost, and we may possibly find an explanation of 
this in an incursion of Ilima-ilu, the founder of the Sea Dynasty, 
who, for a period at least, succeeds in extending his rule over 
this city.

gests that some other word may have followed after nam-bur- 
Su-ma; that this was not the designation of some other office is 
inferred from the fact that the nam-bur-Su-ma is always named 
at the end of the list. (Cf. P. 36/2, P. 39/2, P. 66/2.) Nam-

needed in order to bring the scheme of this document into ac- 
cord with those of other documents of the same kind, (cf. P. 7/15; 
P. 36/14,) has been omitted because, in all probability, only two 
lines are missing. Note that in the oath formula only the nam-

ANNOTATIONS 


Documents following this special scheme, and coming from Kish, have been 
published by Langdon (Proceed. of the Society of Bibl. Archeol., 
IQI1, p. 185-196 and p. 232-242). The same arrangement is also’ 
found in documents from Dilbat (cf. VS VII 1, 2). The tablet 
Has HOUDecKiTedG in ae. el. ss the house of Lugal-melam: from Lugal- 
melam Daritum and Nin-dingir-azagmu, his wife, have bought; for 
its whole price they have paid eight and one-third shekels of silver,” 
because, in 1. 8 we have in-na-an-la(l), where we should have expected 
in-na-an-la (1)-e§ or in-na-an-ld(1)-e-e¥ (cf. 91/13). 

3. E-di-a-bi 2/3 gin? mer. Cf. with this |. 7 and g/1-3. It is evident, 
from this comparison, that gin is here not “S7k/uw,” but a quantity in 
square measure. It is also clear that, whether we supply “‘gin’”’ 
or “sar” after the sign for two-thirds, the measurements given in 
ll. 3, 7 do not agree with those given in Il. 1-2, 5-0. The discrepancy 
is even more evident in tablet 9. The sign mer has the values ag 
“enclosure” (Br. 6949) and Sibbu “‘girdle, belt” (Br. 6954); cf. also 
Sbu “enclosure, border.” It is therefore possible that the line may 
mean: “the house is surrounded by a lot of ground measuring two- 
thirds of a gin.” 

4. Sa é-us-a 0 6-PA-ndr-a. US=ridad (M. 3431). The sign US, with or 
without the determinative ', may also mean “‘Alik urkt” (M. 3421), 
‘mart!’ (M. 3429), “Sa gurussé’” (M. 3442). PA-nar-a = akil 
gammerim (Br. 5508). The word SA-KI-KU-KA, in 1. 8, is also 
probably the title of an official.

THE DATE-FORMULAE 


Just at this time, Prof. A. T: Clay, of Yale University, 
has announced the discovéry of a new list of the kings of Larsa. 
New material is also forthcoming in Poebel’s volume of historical 
and grammatical texts. Notwithstanding this fact a concord- 
ance of the dates of Isin and Larsa has been added to better 
explain the date-formulz contained in the present volume. 
After the publication of Prof. Clay’s list many additions will 
certainly have to be made to the date-formule of the Larsa 
dynasty. 

In the preparation of the two lists, extensive use has been 
made of those published by Lindl, Datenliste (BA IV, p. 236 f.), 
Thureau-Dangin, Sumerisch- Akkadische Konigsinschriften, 
p. 236, and Schorr, Urkunden, p. 612 f. In many cases, how- 
ever, the translation and transliteration have been altered, and 
new date-formulze added. Here below are placed the dates of 
the tablets which, because they do not belong to the dynasties 
of Larsa and Isin, could not be included in the list of dates: 


81. mu ha-am-mu-ra-pi lugal/

“The year in which Hammurapi, the king, with the help 
of Anu and “Enlil, in the land of Emutbalum, Shumer and 


Akkad, his command was established.”’ (=31st year of Ham- 
murap1.)

These dates are very important for the reconstruction of 
the formula for the 31st year of Hammu-rapi. Poebel, in OLZ, 
1913, Vol. XVI, Col. 390-97, has reproduced the complete 
formula of this year: 

mu ba-am-mu-ra-bi lugal SI+-DUB-ti an-‘en-lil-bi-ta igi-erim-na-¥n 


ni-gin-na-a ma-da ia(var. e)-mu-ut-ba-lum'*” 1 lugal (-b1) 
ri-im-"sin Su-ni sa-bi-in-dit-ga. 


“The year in which Hammu-rapi, the king, after that he, 


with the assistance of Anu and “Enlil, marching at the head of 
his troops, the land of Jamutbal and (its) king Rim-"Sin had 
brought under his power, ....”’ 

With the additions contained in tablet 81 the date might 


be completed: 
mu bha-am-mu-ra-pi lugal SI+DUB-ti an-4en-lil-bi-da (var. ta) 
igi-erim-na-%w ni-gin-na-a ma-da ia(var. e)-mu-ut-ba-lum™

“The year in which Hammu-rapi, the king, after that he, 
with the assistance of Anu and “Enlil, marching at the head of 
his troops, the land of Jamutbal and (its) king Rim-"Sin had 
brought under his power, and in Shumer and Akkad his command 


) 


was established, . 


1The scribe had written 2-mu-ut-ba-lum (sign UD-DU) or ia-mu-ut-ba-lum, and he 
afterward corrected it.

87. mu bad i-si-1n-na

“The year in which the wall of Isin.... 
The formula is probably to be restored: 


mu bad i-si-in-na™ ba-gul-la (su-bil bi-in-gi-es-a k1-bi-su 
bi-in-gi-a bi-in-dit-a) 


“ The year in which the wall of Isin was destroyed. Again 
.... toits place he restored and raised.”’ (15th year of Samsu- 
iluna.) 


89. mu us-sa i-li-ma-tlum 


The date mu us-sa i-li-ma-ilum appears for the first time. 
In another tablet found in Nippur (P. 68), we find the formula 
mu-bil i-li-ma-ilum lugal-e, and Poebel contended that mu-bil 
was equivalent to mu us-sa. From a comparison of the proper 
names, he argued that the tablet of Ilima-ilum was possibly 
written during the last nine years of Samsu-iluna’s reign. Cf. 
P., p. 119, note 2. Poebel’s tablet mentions the bur-gul Awiliia 
who held his office, so far as we know from the tablets, from 
the 33rd year of Hammurabi to the 18th year of Samsu-iluna, 
and Ibni-"Enlil, the tup-sar, Samsu-iluna 13 to 24. The present — 
tablet mentions I-di-Sum, bur-gul = P. 39/24 (do. 12) and, if 
the same as the bur-gul I-din-“[Sum, also in P. 64/14 (do. 18). 
l-na-E-kur-ra-bi, the scribe,-is also found in tablet 90/10 


EDW. CHIERA——-LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS 67 


(do. 18). It seems very probable, therefore, that the incursion 
of Ilima-ilum into Nippur must have taken place at a date 
very close to the 18th year of Samsu-iluna.

Tablet 91 is also of great importance for the restoration 
of the date-formula for the 28th year of Samsu-iluna. Johns, 
List of Year-Names, p. 19, reproduces the complete date as 
follows: 


mu d-dg-gé “en-lil-l4-ta mu-un-sum-ma-ta ia-di-ha-bu-um

“The year in which he, according to the oracle that “Enlil 
had given him, Jadihabum and Mutihursana, in his fearful

A complete restoration from tablet 90 gives:

2 The two tablets of Zambia, classified with those of the Isin Dynasty, might possibly 
belong to the Larsa Dynasty. Cf. note at p. 30. 

3 Hilprecht, OLZ, 1907, 386. 

‘The restoration of the name of this king as Ur-dt-azag-ga is probable. Prof. A. T. Clay 
has been very kind in informing me that in his list there is no king of Larsa with this name. 
So that it is already probable that this king may belong to the Isin Dynasty. In the list of kings 
published by Hilprecht (BE, Ser. A, Vol. XX, Part I, p. 46, pl. 30, and photographic reproduc- 
tion at pl. XV) we find that the fourteenth king of the dynasty of Isin (rendered as ¢Fa(DISH)- 


_.—..) can be identified with this king. The sign Ur- is sufficiently clear, and traces can still 
be seen of the sign ga.

* Ibid. 

’ The sign which has generally been read dib is the sign KU (tub? Br. 10512). In some 
of the dates quoted the correction of dib into KU was clearly to be made. In the dates quoted 
only in transliteration, no verification was possible and, for the sake of uniformity, the sign 
has always been read KU. As to the meaning, KU stands for halaku, “to destroy;” asdbu, 
“to settle;” ndabu, “to pacify.’”’ The mention of the siS i U-mab, or d-kal mab of Anu, Enlil 
and Enki, makes it probable that KU may mean “‘to take,” “to conquer.”

Cf. also preceding note.

1 In all probability this date belongs to Rim-Sin. Compare with Nos. 32 and 79 all other 
lists published in this volume, and with No. 79 cf. Nos. 33 and 34. The fact that W. 86 also 
contains this date is a further proof that it can be safely placed with the other Rim-Sin dates. 

2 Cf. Pilter, PSBA, 1912, p. 44, note. The sign might be uzn. 

8 Correct W. 106 which has buranun*?. 

4 Thureau-Dangin, RA, VIII, p. 84, note. 

®Sic! The first ba is here the conjunction ‘‘and” and the second ba is probably an error 
(Langdon).
